In inorganic chemistry, a homoleptic chemical compound's a metal compound with all ligands identical. The term uses a homo prefix to indicate that something's the same for all. Some compounds with names that suggest that they're homoleptic are in fact heteroleptic, because they've ligands in them which aren't featured in the name. For instance dialkyl magnesium complexes which are found in the equilibrium which exists in a solution of a Grignard reagent in an ether, have two ether ligands attach… (More on Homoleptic)
